"Duh" ... (full article "failed to open") ...

that's because THEIR media is reporting {to THEIR people} a complete success...!

Hey, we're both North of the equator; howz come their media "Spins" a different direction...?

Cheers / TGIF!

The interesting thing is not that it failed to get into orbit, but that it OVERSHOT the planned orbit. One wonders if this was a simple weight miscalculation, a thrust to weight miscalculation or some other influence. Anyone know any more about the subject? It also makes one wonder why, on an overshot orbit, they cannot locate this satellite, did it go into a higher orbit or break free completely and is winding its way off into the vastness of space? If into space can they activate whatever instruments are on board? After all they may find something interesting in doing studies in an unanticipated location... just wondering

Alien Space Bats perhaps?

Makes one all choked up inside...

It would appear that, since the separation failed to occur, the rocket that should have deflected it into a circular orbit could not do its job. This would leave it in an elliptical orbit with a high apogee and a low perigee. Depending on how low that perigee, it might have already burned up in the atmosphere.

please to inform us which stage did not separate ("failed to occur")

where is a link to that article containing that information? thank you

The link is the original "Read the Whole Article" at the top of this series of posts.

Quoting from that article:

"All aspects of the launch were normal, but the satellite exceeded its planned orbit and reached an altitude of 360 (kilometers or 223 miles)," said Education and Science Minister Ahn Byong-man. The satellite was to have separated at around 302 kilometers or about 198 miles.

It would appear that the satellite itself failed to separate from the third stage of the rocket.
